OK, so my kids give me grief about cleaning up their mess in the bedroom. i even went so far as to start giving small tasks to be done with no other requirements but that small task. I got more crap from them and decided i had enough and grabbed garbage bags and started loading anything in there that wasnt clothing. they NEED clothing. they dont ( Read more... )
